Main Danger
1 Peace Treaty
F: 41176B(7)W(61.0)
( J-Ryan Houston )
( T-A & S Freedman )

Consider
9 Sea Mist

( J-Jamie Kah )

Main Danger
4 River Noire
F: 27X54B(6)W(57.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Moody/Coleman )
Better for two runs back this preparation and it's a talented type at its best. It has plenty of experience at Flemington.

Place

Consider

Top Pick
6 Samuel Langhorne
Dividend : $2.70, $1.40
Won
F: 52311B(2)W(54.5)
( J-Blaike McDougall )
( T-Michael Kent )
Seeking three on the bounce and dropping to 54.5kg makes it tough to beat. Confidence is king with this runner.
Main Danger
3 Double Cherry
F: 0X013B(8)W(60.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Annabel Neasham )
A good winner two back at Wyong and form in New South Wales holds up well. Only 1.7 lengths behind Circle of Fire last start.
Next Best
5 Garachico
Dividend : $1.80
Place
F: 3X792B(6)W(55.5)
( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-Dominic Sutton )
Taking time to get back to winning form, but that was a much-improved placing last time out. Good enough to take this out.
Consider
1 Aberfeldie Boy
F: 30X74B(9)W(62.0)
( J-Patrick Moloney )
( T-Griffiths/de Kock )
Two starts at Flemington for two placings. Only a one-time winner but it has more upside than most in this field.
Longer Odds
7 Prismatic
F: 50646B(4)W(54.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Mark Walker )
Kiwi form could hold up nicely against this field. 54kg on its back adds to its appeal.

( J-Michael Dee )

Place
F: 38422B(1)W(60.0)
( J-Luke Currie )
( T-T & C McEvoy )
A tough type that has been right around the mark with consecutive second placings. Inside draw and it doesn't need to lift much to win.
Consider
2 Zamborghini
F: 81330B(5)W(61.5)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Matt Laurie )
Four wins from 12 starts and it could bounce back from a disappointing effort when the jockey pulled it up.
Longer Odds
1 Think Winning
F: 310X9B(4)W(62.0)
( J-Celine Gaudray )
( T-Julius Sandhu )

1 Rue De Royale
F: X2020B(4)W(60.0)
( J-Damian Lane )

Won
F: 1B(11)W(55.0)
( J-John Allen )
( T-Busuttin/Young )

Next Best
6 Yaldi
Dividend : $2.70
Place
F: 1B(12)W(54.0)
( J-Michael Dee )
( T-Andrew Forsman )
Another debut winner, in New Zealand. Paid $1.80 on that occasion, so expecations were high. Could teach the Aussies something.
Consider
4 Yes Lulu
F: 233B(8)W(54.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
It comes off three consecutive placings, including one at Flemington. That form should hold up nicely.

( J-Daniel Stackhouse )
( T-B, W & JD Hayes )
Solid enough on debut and it could improve on that effort at odds.

The 'Day's Best'
1 Ganbare
F: X7949B(5)W(58.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-Waterhouse/Bott )
It has been facing top fields. Not running at its best but this is a fair drop in class and it could have an immediate effect.
Main Danger

Dividend : $1.50
Place
F: 21B(11)W(56.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Moody/Coleman )

Won
F: X6128B(10)W(56.0)
( J-Damian Lane )

Consider
4 Cherokee Brave
F: 12533B(6)W(58.0)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
It owns a win and four placings from eight starts. Running well enough and seeing out the 2800m shouldn't worry it.
Longer Odds
8 Maputo
F: 9816B(2)W(58.0)
( J-Rhys McLeod )
( T-Pat Carey & Harris Walker )
It comes from a staying stable, so that must be respected.

Top Pick
3 Furious
F: 51X24B(8)W(60.0)
( J-Jordan Childs )
( T-M, W & J Hawkes )

Main Danger
9 Amleto
F: X12X3B(4)W(59.0)
( J-Mark Zahra )
( T-Ciaron Maher )
A former European that opened its Australian account with a third placing. Looks good enough to handle this field.
Next Best
12 Splash Back
F: 16X13B(6)W(59.0)
( J-Harry Coffey )
( T-Andrew Bobbin )
It battled on gamely last time out for third. Nothing wrong with that form, and it should be right around the mark.

15 Our Empress Zoe
Dividend : $3.00
Place
F: 26X36B(9)W(57.5)
( J-Blake Shinn )
( T-Price/Kent (Jnr) )

Longer Odds
8 King's Crossing
F: 5818XB(11)W(59.5)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Danny O'Brien )
It can be one-paced at times but it's enigmatic and worth including at the price.

Place
F: 3211XB(9)W(55.0)

Main Danger
9 Flying On A Limb
F: 16X28B(4)W(56.0)
( J-Jamie Kah )
( T-Clinton McDonald )

Next Best
1 Direct
F: X7X53B(8)W(62.0)
( J-Ryan Houston )

Won
F: 2615XB(7)W(56.0)

14 Redoute's Night
F: 21524B(5)W(54.0)
( J-Mickaelle Michel )
( T-Cindy Alderson )
Never too far away from the mark and carrying 54kg is ideal.
